I bought a young man a break barrel pellet rifle. The young man has been bow hunting with me and enjoyed it. But he wanted to learn to harvest rabbits and clean and cook them. I went and bought him a break barrel pellet rifle and took him out rabbit hunting tonight. This young man had a smile on his face all night. He had no experience with shooting and there for had no bad habits. With in a hour I had him hitting the kill zone on the targets. So we went out and harvested a few rabbits. Taught him how to clean them and we came home and cooked up one for each of us. I showed him how to brown them in cast iron skillet and then add water to tenderize them. I added golden mushroom soup to them and cooked till all hot. Served them over rice with the mushroom gravy. He took the rest home with him to cook them tomorrow for his family. Since losing my son to a freak illness, I had not seen that excitement in a young mans face in a long time. My daughter went with us and pulled off a 50 yard shot with my FX Royal 400 .22 cal air rifle. she was pretty happy too. I think it made her feel good to out shoot a male. lol Just wanted to share a great night with you guys.
